We’ve all seen magic in movies and games – people transforming others, objects flying, walls of fire. While visually impressive, these systems can be restrictive, and only Hogwarts Legacy has truly become a major success in video game form. Given the vast world of magic, there are definitely more interesting and varied spell systems out there in gaming, so let’s explore some alternatives.
The cryptocurrency ASTER slinked into a ditch and traded at $1.26, surviving a 10% rally that would make a jalopy weep. Technical analysts cried “structural integrity!” as if a price chart is a house made of lard and wishful thinking. Token unlocks, delayed like a toddler’s bedtime after Halloween candy-saved the day. 🦇
Even though ARC Raiders has competitive player-versus-player combat, the game’s community is known for its helpfulness. Recently, players overwhelmingly supported a community event where they were asked to donate resources to unlock the Stella Montis map. The response was so enthusiastic that the developers at Embark Studios actually increased the donation goal, but the community still achieved it in less than a day.
Apparently, the majority of institutional investors either haven’t the faintest notion what all the bother is about, or, more charitably, simply haven’t the time to indulge such provincial squabbles. Supporting the ‘Knots’ camp? Don’t be absurd. The very idea! 🤷♀️
Players often collect a lot of disposable items during their adventures, and might be surprised by how useful some of them actually are. Many of these surprisingly effective items are common, inexpensive, and easy to craft, offering a significant power boost despite being overlooked by most players.
Players enjoyed the first Red Dead Redemption, but Red Dead Redemption 2 in 2018 really raised the bar. Open-world Western games are rare, and the Red Dead Redemption series is unique.

During the September Nintendo Direct, The Pokemon Company announced Pokemon Pokopia, a new game that takes the series in a relaxing, life-simulation direction. In Pokemon Pokopia, you play as a Ditto who has transformed into a human, and you can build a village, craft items, explore the world, and become friends with other Pokemon. Many players are comparing it to games like Animal Crossing and Minecraft because of its casual gameplay and charming, gentle art style. Now, we’re starting to learn how much the game will cost.
Players will soon discover that learning a few simple tricks and strategies can greatly improve their chances of finding good loot – some are minor advantages, while others can completely change how effective you are. These clever looting methods help you consistently get better items, and they work well with any playstyle, whether you prefer fast-paced combat or a slower, more exploration-focused approach.
On December 2nd, Red Dead Redemption is launching on several platforms with improved graphics, including support for HDR and resolutions up to 4K, running at a smooth 60 frames per second. It’s also coming to the Nintendo Switch 2, where it will work with the system’s mouse controls, and feature DLSS and HDR. Plus, Netflix is adding the game to its streaming service, meaning you’ll be able to play it on mobile devices for the first time.
After starting the “Lost Transmission” quest in ARC Raiders, you’ll get a key called the Spaceport Control Tower key from Shani. You’ll need this key to access the top of Control Tower A6, which is in the Spaceport—a central location on the map next to the Vehicle Maintenance and Container Storage areas.
